Description

Abdulrahman Alyami and co-authors present a framework that turns design diagrams into project schedules in a 2025 paper. Translating UML sequence diagrams into Gantt charts by hand is slow and error-prone. Agile projects feel that pain most.

Their pipeline starts with optical character recognition to pull tasks and timing from diagram images. The tasks then form a dependency graph that checks their order and limits. Gradient descent refines duration estimates beyond fixed guesses. Machine learning tuning further sharpens the schedule. The authors aim for accurate, executable plans drawn straight from design documents.
